Raptors fans across Canada — and beyond — are gearing up for Monday’s potentially championship-clinching Game 5 in Toronto.

Viewing parties across the country are expanding as the Raptors look to make history by claiming their first NBA title against the defending champion Golden State Warriors.

Toronto leads the series three games to one after taking the last two on the Warriors’ home court in Oakland, Calif.

Outdoor public viewing spaces that have popped up across the country are expected to expand to accommodate the ever-growing crowds gripped by Raptors fever.

In Halifax, Gab LeVert has been organizing block parties throughout the final round of the playoffs, and says the crowds have grown larger every game.

“For Game 4 on a sunny Friday in Halifax, I don’t think anyone could have expected what happened. We had hundreds of people overflowing into the streets because we were at maximum capacity,” LeVert said.

“Everyone was respectful, but everyone was so happy to be a Raptors’ fan.”
